[LLVMdev] struct alignment question

[edA-qa mort-ora-y]

Is a series of fields in a structure guaranteed to have the same layout
as those fields in a structure on their own? That is, can I cast a
pointer within a main structure to an equivalent type?

X = { a, b, c, d, e }
Y = { c, d, e }

y = BitCast( StructGEP( some_x, 2 ), Y* )

Is that a valid cast?
